A FINE White Bronze monument,
of the cottage design was erected over
the grave of the late Hon. Robert a.
Hunter last week ALSO two smaller
ones over the graves of the two chill
dren of the Hon. R. p. Hunter The
three are fine specimens of art, and are,
perhaps, the best aud most durable OF
monuments that can be erected. They
are practically indestructible, and will
not blacken or become dingy with age;
moss will not grow upon their surface
as upon marble or stone, and the color
will remain unchanged for centuries
As an evidence of the truth of this as.
sertion we append certificate of A
Cortepassi, a we'll known artist and
sculptor of Cincinnati, Ohio, and for.
merly of Florence, Italy. which says

ally, according to the records) over three
hundred years ago, and has stood con-
slant exposure TO the elements since. No
sign of corrosion or change of eolor has
taken place, and to all appearance it is as
beautiful as when first erected.

Advantages OF Low Ceilings.

The advantages of low ceilings for
dwellings, on account of their being moro
readily and completely ventilated than
dwellings that are high ceiled, are now
very generally admitted by builders and
sanitarians. The view taken of this
matter from the standpoint Of health Is,
briefly, that the leakage Of air which Is
always going on keeps all parts of the air
in motion In such rooms, whereas, If the
ceiling is higher, only the lower part of
the air Is moved, and an inverted lake Of
foul and hot air Is left floating In the
space above tho window tops.
To have the currents of fresh air circu-
lating only in the lower parts of the room,
while the upper portion of the air is left
unaffected, Is really the worst way Of
ventilating, for the stagnant atmospheric
lake under the ceiling, although motion
less, keeps actively ut work under the
law Of the diffusion of gases, fouling the
fresh currents circulating beneath II.
with low ceilings and high windows no
such accumulation OF mir is possible, for the
whole height of the room is swept by the
currents as the dust of the floor is swept
with n broom. Again, it is urged in be-
half of low ceilings, that they possess the
advantage of enabling rooms to be warmed
with less expenditure of heat and less
cost of fuel.-Boston Budget.

Some Ancient Philosophy.

A book called "Speculum Mundi, or a
Glass Representing the Face of the
World" published in 1910, gives curl
GUS picture Of what passed for science be-
fore the great modern discoveries were
made. 1t consists Of chapter on each OF
the six days Of creation. 1t says that the
world was at first an unfashioned lump
Having disposed of the question OF II
armament us best it could, it says of the
air that the highest region Is said to be
Exceeding hot,h because of the stars
Meteors and comets, it informs us, are
composed of vapours or fumes-a kinde
of Smoak." Some of these vapors tran
scendn very high, ''evcn to the Starry
Heaven itself; which Is witnessed by our
best modern astronomers, who have CD
served many comets above the moon. T"
Great events are connected with comets,
because those bodies consist of 'many hot
and dry cXhalations and ''distemper the
air." which "the bellows of the body suck
in and receive; insomuch that there can
not but be sickness, plague, and much
mortality" Moreover, these ''poysonous
brcathngs" are Every apt so to disorder
and dry up the blood in humane bodies
that thereby great store of red and dust
choler may be purchased, and this stirreth
up to anger with the thought of many
furious and violent actions, and so by
consequence to war;"
Thunder is caused "by reason of hot
and dry exhalations shut within the
cloud, which, seeking to get out, with
great violence do knock and rend tho
cloud The hot and dry eXhalation in
escaping is set on fire by the violence, ami
becomes lightning, when it often con
tinues burning until it falls to the ground.
"And oftentimes great stone is blown
out of the cloud with it; whose cause is
also NATURAL For, when the eXhalation
is drawn up from the earth, 1t sometimes
takes earthly matter "likc unto the finest
sand" with 1t, and this, Through the
moisture which it getteth in the air,
"clottereth together" and, "by the ex-
cessive heat which it findeth in the general
matter of the exhalation," becomes hard
like brick Sometimes the eXhalations
carry up also frogs, fishes and grain, or
the vehement heat of the sun draws milk,
and we are treated to curious showers of
corresponding nature. We are informed
that the long, streaming threads seen
floating in the air, and vulgarly supposed
to be spiders webs, are nothing of the
kind, but meteors, which may rightly be
supposed to proceed out of through
boyled or digested yapor, being mixed
with earthly and Shiny eXhalations u
